Welcome back again to Custom Made Monday, our spotlight on things going on in the world of custom figures. This week's rundown is a little bit shorter than last week's, but it's also just as impressive. In part, that's becaus... Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! To show our appreciation for you taking time out of your day every day to come visit us, our editors got together and made a small gallery. We figure it would be impractical to mail out f... Ever look over your collections and think about what started it all in the first place? As collectors, we always treasure new and old things, but there is always a special place in our hearts for the first things we collect.
